Clifton Taulbert, a Pulitzer-nominated author and the
President and Founder of the Building Community Institute speaks throughout the
world on the critical issue of building community, an infrastructure of
satisfying relationships within an environment branded by R.A.I: Respect,
Affirmation and Inclusion. His book, Eight Habits of the Heart, which
has been described as a “journey into consciousness,” serves as the
introspective tool to help shape the “intent” to build, maintain and
sustain a powerful, effective and caring community. Taulbert’s walk to the
global corridors of corporations and academic institutions has shown him the
on-going relevance of the timeless values known as the “Eight Habits of
the Heart.” On the subject, he lectures throughout the United States,
Europe, Japan and Central America to top educational institutions, government
agencies and Fortune 500 companies. From Harvard to Memorial Health Care to
Bank of America to members of the Unites States Supreme Court, these principles
to build “community” within our professional lives have had profound
impact. When recently introduced by the Vice-President and Chief Information
Officer for Ford Motor Company, Taulbert’s words and voice were described
as one “lasting impact.”
He has authored nine books, including the internationally acclaimed
and Pulitzer-nominated memoirs, Last Train North, Once Upon a Time
When We Were Colored, Watching our Crops Come In, the praised
Eight Habits of the Heart, as well as the “Little Cliff”
children’s series, and The Journey Home: A Father’s Gift to His
Son. He has written for national and international publications and was
the co-producer of the award-winning film, Once Upon a Time When We Were
Colored.
